Easy-er Mac

Albeit, Easy-Mac is already pretty damn easy to make, but I propose an idea to make it even easier. I have run into this problem before: Easy-Mac in hand, faucet available, and a microwave available. Now I’m fairly savvy in my culinary endeavors, so without a measuring cup, estimating one cup of water isn’t terribly difficult.

But for a 9-year-old, who is more likely to make Easy-Mac, to estimate a cup of water might be a little difficult… you can forget about them being able to estimate 2/3 a cup required to make one packet. That’s why I propose to Kraft a simple solution to this.

All they need to do is print a few extra lines on the package that holds the dry noodles (A). As far as production goes, nothing extra is being added. The bag already has “Tear Here” printed on it, so it’s only a simple adjustment. To measure 2/3 cup of water required to make one packet, fill to the bottom line. To measure one cup required to make 2 packets, fill to the top line.

After you add a couple simple lines and the words “For One Packet” and “For Two Packets” all that’s left to add is another diagram to the cheese mix pouch (B). And now you have yourself Easy-er-Mac… simple as that.
